Comment (by kmtracey):
OK, I can take a look at fixing it by figuring out the xgettext version
and undoing the mangling for xgettexts older than 0.15 (maybe I should
verify that's specifically when it was fixed also). Only I think the
encoding names need to be reversed there -- what you show is essentially
what xgettext is doing and we need to reverse that:
{{{
>>> u = u'\xdf'
>>> print u
ß
>>> e1 = u.encode('utf-8')
>>> e1
'\xc3\x9f'
>>> e2 = e1.decode('iso-8859-1').encode('utf-8')
>>> e2
'\xc3\x83\xc2\x9f'
>>> e3 = e2.decode('utf-8').encode('iso-8859-1')
>>> e3
'\xc3\x9f'
}}}
e1 is the bytes in the source .py file, e2 is what the older xgettext
outputs, e3 is what we want instead (same as e1).
